This user has made more than 50,000 contributions to Wikipedia, on over 11,000 distinct pages.

This user has written or expanded over 100 articles featured in the Did You Know section on the Main Page.

I started editing Wikipedia in 2008 as an anonymous user and made my first registered edit on 28 March 2010. My hobby of editing articles helped me slowly graduate to an active contributor.

As a member of WikiProject Tamil civilization, WikiProject Tamil Nadu and the Indian cinema task force, I often spend my time contributing to articles relating to South India and Indian cinema. I'm an ardent cricket fan and will be able to help with players statistics. Other topics of great interest to me are: India, Geography of India, Indian cities and Demographics of India. I also spend some time reverting disruptive edits to prevent vandalism.

Although not very active on Tamil Wikipedia, I can fairly translate articles from here-to-there and vice-versa. If you need any help in this regard, feel free to contact me.

The Editor's Barnstar

Hello Vensatry, thank you for your improvement of the article on Jayakanthan! It was extremely low on sourcing before, which meant that we could not highlight on In The News the passing of this great Tamil poet. Your extensive work on sourcing means that we can now recognise him in this way. Thank you and continue your good work on improving this encyclopedia. '''tAD''' (talk) 17:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
